Im curious about Matereality V2 in Cape Town. Soil, timber, wire, sugar and discarded objects become artistic material.
I like art that makes ordinary matter feel worth looking at again.

Cathy de Monchaux turns sculpture into something between beauty and threat.
Her Paris retrospective makes me think about how often the most memorable art lives in that uncomfortable middle.
If you happen to be near Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle, stop by the Seattle Asian Art Museum and take in the exhibit of glazed porcelain sculpture and other objects by the Kondo family, especially Takahiro Kondo. The work is gorgeous, supported by several artful videos on large screens, and presented in a soothing, cooling space that gives you a break from sun and heat.
needle-felt fruit fly (Drosophila Melanogaster), handmade by me in may this year
It has a pipe cleaner skeleton, allowing it to stand on its own and pose to a degree. The wings were done with thrifted fabric mesh to replicate the wing transparency, and can also bend and pose.
This was made as a gift for a professor.

Folded Forms: Sculptural Canvas Works by Susan Maddux
Visited earlier this month. Wandering around paths in the woods you can see some 200 individually displayed modern sculptures for sale. Something for all tastes but they do not come cheap! Great setting and a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two even if, like me, you do not buy anything.
Two favourites: a bird from recycled cutlery by Ed Hill and an exhibit from old metal parts (unattributed) which is rusting away quietly.

Another of the unusual grotesques on Saint Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Great Western Road in Glasgow. I'm fairly sure this one is relatively modern.

DCF 7318 was discovered by field techs trapped in a collapsed building. This hybrid uses a foetal unit for data collection and uplink. While the biomech base utiliising a former living skull is an operational syncaster. The gray matter was resusitated and used to broadcast corrupt Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Theta signals to render a local population inert. Techs wore Faraday suits and neutralised the broadcast. The foetal unit will be flashed and integrated into Institute infrastructure.
Some renders from an old project I did for a collective. Apple Girl, "La Ragazza Mela" is inspired by a tale from Italo Calvino, the model was sculpted and intended to be printable.
Made with love and in profound connection with the original story.

That tiny shift between recognition and discomfort is powerful.
